Tara (Sanskrit, "star") is a Buddhist savior-goddess especially popular in Tibet, Nepal and Mongolia. In Tibet, where Tara is the most important deity, her name is Sgrol-ma, meaning "she who saves." The mantra of Tara (om tare tuttare ture svaha) is the second most common mantra heard in Tibet, after the mantra of Chenrezi (om mani padme hum). Tara is the Bodhisattva of feminine compassionate wisdom in action. Her name means 'one who saves', or 'star'. Her name means "The Star" because she is believed to lead her devotees through the treacherous waters of life to safe harbor. Spiritual, healing, good luck, blessings, blessed, antique
